Dragonball Z
Vegeta Saga
This was the begining of Dragonball Z. We first saw someone leaping from tree to tree in the forest. It was Son Goku, getting wood(actually a whole tree) for his wife, Chi-Chi, to cook. Chi-Chi asked Goku where Gohan was. Goku didn't know so he went searching for him. Meanwhile, a circular spaceship crashed onto Earth. A curious farmer looked for the space pod. As the space pod opened up, a large stranger, with an appearence similar to Goku, but had more hair and was stronger, emerged. The scared farmer took his gun and shot him, but the alien reflected the bullet back at the farmer,killing him. The alien flew and shouted out, "KAKAROTT!!!!" A little child with a strange hat that held a four star Dragonball was lost in the forest. Meet Son Gohan, Goku's son. After meeting a tiger/puma, who later became his freind, he finally fell down a river on a log, shouting, "DAD!!!!!!"Goku finally heard his screams and saved him. Goku and Gohan flew to the Kame-House to meet Krillin, Kamesama, Bulma, and Kamesama's turtle. Suddenly, the alien arrived. He told Goku he was his brother and told him of his Saiyan origin.(Note: a previous head injury cuased Goku to lose all of his Saiyan memory.) The alien, Radditz, told him to bring 100 dead bodies by the next day or Gohan would be lost to him. Piccolo arrived suddenly, told him of his encounter with Radditz, and agreed to team up with Goku. Because Radditz was very strong, and they would have to fight together to win. Goku and Piccolo finally found Radditz, and the battle had begun. During the battle, Piccolo lost a limb, and Goku was seriously injured. An enraged Gohan broke out of Radditz's spacepod,which he was trapped in, and attacked Radditz. During Radditz's weakened state Goku was able to hold him until Piccolo executed his secret attack, "MAKANKOUSAPPO."Both Radditz and Goku were killed by the attack. Before Radditz died, he told Piccolo that two stronger Saiyans would arrive in one year. Piccolo took Gohan to train with him because he knew that Gohan had great power. Goku was know in heaven. He was allowed to travel through Serpent Road to Kaiou's planet to train, but he would go to hell if he fell off. After running continuously, he got tired and was to get a ride from a guy that was cleaning Snake Way. When the driver/cleaner was sleeping. Goku fell from the car to hell. In order to reenter Snake Way, Goku would have to race two ogres. He won so he returned to Snake Way, but he had to run all over again, but he able to regain his stregnth by King Yamma's appple. After escaping from Princess Snake, he finnnaly reached Kaiou's planet. Piccolo left Gohan in a desert all alone for six months for survival training. Piccolo later returned and started training him. On Kaiou's planet Goku learned to live under gravity ten times stronger that Earth's and also he learned Kaioken and the Genki-Dama or Spirit Bomb( Note: The Genki-Dama drew ki energy from everybody and everything in the universe.) Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, and Chaozu traind with Kamesama through out the year. The Saiyans finally arrived, destroyed a city, and found Gohan and Piccolo. They wanted to kill Radditz's murderers and to get the dragonballs to wish for immortality . Yamcha got killed when one of Nappa's Saibamen self destructed. Chaozu and Tien sacrificed their lives to kill Nappa, but failed. Piccolo died defending Gohan, a very emotional scene. During the moment, Goku was wished back by the dragonballs and ran rapidly through snake way back to Earth. Luckily, Goku finnaly arrived to save Gohan and Krillin by using Kaioken. Vegeta became angry of Nappa's attempts to kill Goku and shouted, "SHI NE,"destroying him. The battle between Goku and Vegeta began. Vegeta gained an advantage by creating an artificial moon and transformed into OoZaru form, but lost his abiliy when Yajarobe cowardly cut off his tail with a sword.(Note: A tail gives Saiyans power to turn into a giant monkey when there is a full moon. The prcess can be reversed when either the moon disappears or the tail gets cut off.) Goku was seriosly injured while fighting Vegeta and handed he Genki-Dama to Krillin, who the weakened Vegeta with it . Finally, Gohan turned into OoZaru and started beating up Vegeta. With his last amount of strength, Vegeta escaped to his spacepod. Bulma and the others arrived to pick up Goku and the others. Because of Piccolo's death, Kami also died. With out Kami, the dragonballs were not able to exist. Krillin stated that he heard Vegeta saying that Piccolo came from the planet Namek. By using Kami's spaceship, Bulma, Krillin, and Gohan traaveled to Namek, hoping that there would be more powerful dragonballs to revive their friends.
Freiza Saga
The battle with Vegeta and Nappa was finally over, but Krillin, Bulma, and Gohan must now go to Planet Namek, Piccolo's and Kami's home planet, to obtain another set of dragonballs to wish their freiends back. Goku was injures from the battle and was uncapable to go, but Krillin, Bulma, and Gohan were able to obtain the spaceship Kami used to arrive to Earth. The journey was two months long and was filled with dangers, including the Space Ark Chidren, Raachi and Zaakro(with their abilities to create illusions), and finally Freiza! Freiza was the most powerful being in the universe, who had to undergo four forms to achive his real power. After listening to the message from the dying Radditz in the Vegeta Saga, he learned about the dragonballs and decided to pursue them himself to gain immortality. After being healed by a senzu bean, Goku set off for Namek in a specially designed spaceship, training hard in 100 times gravity. Meanwhile, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, and Chaozu served as Kaiou's pupils. Vegeta was also healed and stronger than ever, heading for Namek, for the dragonballs, and the hatred for Goku in his black heart. Vegeta was able to kill Dodoria, Kiwi, and Zarbon, becoming stronger aftr every battle. Freiza killed all the Namekians except Nail, Dende, and Saichoro while Vegeta captured all the seven dragon balls (with six from Freiza and one from Krillin, Bulma, and Bulma). As a desperate measure, Freiza summoned Team Ginyu, a team of five strong fighters. Even with their ki increased by Saichoro and with Vegeta assisting them, Krillin and Gohan were losing to the Ginyu Force, allowing them to take the dragon balls to Freiza. Freiza was unable to activate the dragon balls and flew to Saichoro to seek out the answer, Luckily, Goku arrived to defeat Recoom, Recoom, and Jess, allowing Vegeta to kill them, including Guldo. Vegeta wondered if Goku was the legendary Super Saiyan. Ginyu knew he could not surpass Goku's power so he switched bodies with Goku. The battle concluded with Goku returning to his own body and Ginyu trapped in a frog's body. Gohan, Krillin, and Dende were able to obtain the dragon balls from Freiza to revive Piccolo and to bring him to Namek. (Note: Unlike Shen-long, Porunga could grant the user three wishes). Freiza killed Saichoro and injured Nail, interrupting Porunga from granting the third wish (which was to grant Vegeta immortality). An angered Freiza hurt Krillin and Gohan, but Dende had the ability to heal them. Freiza transformed to his third form while Goku was recovering in Freiza's ship from the battle with Ginyu. After undergoing his transformation to his fourth and final form, Freiza killed Vegeta for stating about the Super Saiyan to Goku. (Note: Freiza feared the Super Saiyan legend). Goku executed a Genki Dama desperately at Freiza, but an injured Freiza killed Krillin out of rage. This triggered the anger to Goku to transform to a Super Saiyan. An intense battle has developed, risking the destruction of Namek. Super Saiyan Goku was defeating Freiza, becoming stronger every minute. With his last strength, Freiza triggered the planet to blow up in five minutes and threw Kienzan-like fireballs at him but accidentally got cut in the process. Goku gave Freiza some of his energy to save his life and to fight more but he had to kill him rapidly and escape. Goku tried to start Freiza's spaceship but failed as the planet exploded. Bulma, Piccolo, Gohan, Vegeta, and the Namekians traveled back to earth with the Namek dragon balls. (Note: The Namekians were revived with the Earth dragon balls). Porunga revived Krillin but was unable to revive Goku. It seemed that Goku survived the explosion and was training on another planet, learning the Shunkanidou in the process. Vegeta decided to train in space, and everything was safe on Earth for now. One year later Freiza is put back together in a robotic form by his father, King Cold. They arrive on Earth with an army, all hope is lost by the Z warriors, even Vegeta thinks so when he was revived by the DragonBalls. Suddenly, a teenager comes out of nowhere, beats the crap out of Freiza. Not only that, he is a Saiyan! Turning Super Saiyan, he kills Freiza and King Cold with his sword easily. All he says is that he is waiting for Son Goku, then Son Goku appears out of nowhere. Son Goku tells of his troubles and also demonstrates his new teleportation technique. The teenager says that his name is Trunks. He is also the son of Bulma and Vegeta! He is from the future and comes back in time to warn the Z warriors of androids that will terrorize the world in three years. Trunks also says that Son Goku will die from a heart disease. Trunks though has brought medicine for him. Trunks says that he will come back in three years to fight the androids. Now the Z warriors must train for the androids arriving in three years.
Cell Game
Three years passed since Trunks' arrival. A lot has changed since then. Trunks from the future the future is now call Miari Trunks since Chibi Trunks is born, and Vegeta joins the Z warriors, but having the same attitude. Miari Trunks arrives from the future to find that there is another android, Andriod #16. Vegeta easily defeated Android #21 when he learns how to go Super Saiyan during his training. Right before #21 dies, he issues the final command for Andriod #22 (Cell) to be formed. Cell is made of single cells from the strongest warriors in the universe. Cell breaks out of his test tube and seeks to absorb #17 and #18. When Cell finally absorbs the androids, he turns into Perfect Cell. No one can offer a challenge so he starts thinking of all the fights as games(Thus sums the title , "Cell Game"). Cell later announces that he will hold a tournament to the warriors that think they can defeat him. The tounament begins. First, a fighter from Earth, who is really a coward and takes all the credit for defeating Cell, but is really weak, Mr. Satan. He gets defeated easily by Cell with one slap. Then Son Goku fights with Cell, the battle ends with the winner, Son Goku. Cell gets so mad that he lost and he self-destructs blowing up the whole solar system. Goku quickly teleports himself to a safe distance, to Kaiou's planet. Cell blows up killing both Goku and Kaiou. Everyone was sad, but the battle wasn't over yet. It was up to the next challenger, Son Gohan. This is because Cell somehow regenerated from one cell in his body. He tries to piss off Gohan so he will be more challenging. Cell's plan works when he creates seven Baby Cells who kills Gohan's friends. He also kills Miari Trunks with a suprise attack. Gohan gets pushed off a cliff and powers up enough to reach SSJ 2, the Cell realizes that he over did it. Gohan defeats the seven Baby Cells with just one kick to each of them. Son Gohan starts to attack Cell. As the battle goes on, Gohan's right arm gets crippled. He creates a KA ME HA ME HA, Cell then creates his own KA ME HA ME HA, Gohan is encouraged by the revenge for his dead father. Son Gohan overpowers and kills Cell with only one arm! Everyone is wished back to life except Son Goku because he was already wished back to life once. But Goku was proud of his son and watched over him from the heavens, while King Kaiou kept yelling at Goku or bringing Cell to his planet. Miari Trunks later returns to his own time.

Son Gohan drops the earring and Buu absorbs Son Gohan, thus turning himself into Ultimate Buu. Then Vegeta comes to the scene. Vegeta then fuses with Son Goku to become Vegetto. Vegetto defeats Buu but purposely gets absorbed to rescue their friends. This somehow wears off the permanent fusion. They rescue Son Goten, Son Gohan, Trunks, Piccolo, and Fat Buu through Ultimate Buu's pores. All of the energy that Buu has taken restores him back to his normal form, Majin Buu. Then he destroys the Earth. Kaoiu-sin teleports to help Son Goku teleport Vegeta, Mr. Satan, his dog, and Dende to Kaoiu-sin's planet.

Vegeta jumps into the battle so Son Goku can create a Genki-Dami. The Namek DragonBalls are gathered to wish back the Earth and to wish back everyone killed by Buu. The third wish is stored for later use. Son Goku's Genki-Dami (Energy given by the Nameks, the people in the Heavens, and everyone on Earth) is ready to throw, Son Goku throws it, and Buu pushes it back. Vegeta tells Dende to wish back all of Son Goku's strength back. Now with all his strength restored Son Goku, he throws back the Genki-Dami at Buu. Buu can't counter it any longer, so he is killed. Ten years after the battle against Majin Buu, Fat Buu is revived into an evil cleansed form called Ubuu. Son Goku decides to train him since he has great potential.
